I’m sure you perceive it that way, as you already said you perceive being a threat. You appear to take pride in it.

Couldn’t be less threatened by you. Your abstinence reduces price competition for meat products. You are restricting yourself such that it benefits me.

The real threat in this regard are the boomers who eat more meat products than other generations.

I feel I should donate a quarter head of beef to a local food pantry in your name as tribute and to show there are no ill feelings. At least from me. I doubt you feel the same towards me.
